TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

After a short drill in music, DR.. Higbee
spoke on school legislation, exemplifying
the laws lately enacted, viz: making the
minimum six months, fixing compensation
for attending institute and getting an ad-
ditional appropriation of $500,000 for our
schools. He suggested various ways of us
ing this extra money in future years. "Use
it by putting up better buildings, purchas-
ing libraries, lengthening the term still
more and increasing the wages of the teach
ers when they do efficient work"
After a short recess, Institute was again
called to order, and Prof. e. B. Cochran,
delivered his Illustrated lecture, on "Air,"
in which he carefully diagnosed ard divided
air into its constituent pats showing bv a
number of actual experiments how neces-
sary pnre oxygen was to animal life, and
how determental to health was impure viii
ated air saturated with carbonic acid gas,
proving that in order to support combus-
ton in the body it is necessary that we
should breath pure air, and by thus keeping
the lungs so supplied, our bodies would re-
main in healthy condition, while on the
other hand ill-yentilated rooms, and sitting
atmosphere that arises from decayng mat
ter, &C., would plant and feed the germs
of disease, and broken down constitutions.
The talk was beneficial and edifying.
Another selection was sung, after which
Prof. G. W. Hull gave an interesting and
instructive talk on "False Notions of Edu-
cation" in which he faithfully pictured
the distinguishing features, between the
false and the true. The speaker holds that
the genuine education of man is that
which directs him to higher and nobler mo-
tiYes. "Shame," said the orator, ION an
education that will cause a man to look
with disdain upon honest toll, that will
teach him TO forget that poverty is not a
disgrace. Many a brilliant young man, said
he, has parents who toll from morn till
night, even denying themselves the luxur-
les of life that he may have an education,
and after they acquired it become so vitiat-
ed with arrogance and pride that they are
ashamed to recognize their parents. Shame
on him, who would forget the mother who
watched over and toiled for him. Give us
that education which will create in us love
of home, a love of kindred and a love of
God"

incidents in the lives Of great inventors are al

planning and selling his machine, he could take

may scent This remarkable characteristic in
tins mans genus suggests the cause for the
marvellous simplicity of the machine bearing his
name, which with its many other advantages.
gives 1t place in the front rank of modern in
ventions. What n revolution in the history of
the sewing machine has taken place during these
years. Every inhabited and civilized portion OF
the globe now resOunds with the music of this
"iriend of womankind.' Europe has long ac-
knOwledged the superiority of 'fhe Davis" and
Australia and New Zealand are fields where it is
monarch of all it surveys" The "Vertical Feed"
is the principal and distinguishing features of
this machine, separating it from and placing II
above the popular machines of other makes. To
be appreciated and understood, this new feed
method should be seen inOperation. The stitch
made by this machine is both sure and beautiful.

The twenty fourth annual session Of the
Teachers County Institute opened at p.
M, on Monday, in Concert Han, Mauch
Chunk. The new law allowing all teachers
pay for attending brought out almost the
entire teaching force of the county-one
hundred and sixty being enrolled the first
day.
The Institute was called to order by
Supt. T. A. Snyder, who announced that
he had appointed the following officers:
President, T. A. Snyder, Co. Supt, Vice
Presidents, p. II. McCabe, J. NJ. Roberts
and A. S. Beisel; Secretaries. James ].
Beyan and w. II. Spencer Enrolling Clerks,
II. J. Reinhard, G. w. Hemminger. Ex-
ecutiye Committe, j. NJ. Stauffer, j. F.
Snyder, L. M. Beidler Martin J. Mulhall,
D. G. Watkins, VIM. Mclaughlin.
The devotional opening exercises were
led by Rev. Woodbury. of the Presbyterian
church. Prof. Geo. C. Young, of the Key
stone Normal School, of Kutztown, then
took charge OF the music and gave the
teachers an excellent drill in that art Prof.
Young Is pleasant and genial gentleman
and has an excellent knowledge of the sub
ject of music. He awakened considerable
activity and precision in very few min
utes Prof. Geo. E. Little,o of Washington,
d. c., then spoke on drawing, showing that
the teaching of conventional forms is only
a means and not as an end. The Prof. is
quick with the crayon and sketched as
rapidly as he spoke. The value to teach
ers of his talk was perhaps not so great as
it was entertaining. AS one of the in
structors of the day failed to arrive in time
there seemed to be void which was not
capable of being filed promptly, and so the
afternoon session was adjourned, the teach
ers feeling that they had hardly received
full half days worth in the first half day
of the week.
In the evening Prof. Little gave one of
his "chalk talks" which was much en-
joyed by all present; most of the teachers,
however, had seen the same thing before
and hence it was not of much value as in.
struction, but was decidedly entertaining.
These evening lectures ought to have an
instructive as well as an entertaining side
to them; the entertainment may amuse
but does not so much profit the teacher in
his or her schoolroom work.

TUESDAY MORNING.

The Institute was called to order about
quarter after nine in the morning. in the
Hall of the public school building; deyo-
tional exercises being read by Rev. T. NJ.
Jackson, Of the M. E. church, of Mauch
Chunk.
Prof Young led in short drill in music,
after which DR.. E. E. Higbee addressed the
Institute. The Dr. had unexpectedly turned
up the evening before and the institute
manifested their delight by greeting him
with round of applause. The doctors
talks are always full. of thought and this
opening one was no exception.
The institute was then DIVIDED into two
parts, the one part being taken in charge
by Prof. G. Is. Cochran. and the other by
Prof G. w. Hull, Prof. Cochran spoke
for nearly two hours on Physiology and
Hygiene, illustrating and enforcing his talk
with specimens, such as the skull and
brain of a negro, the brains of horse,
etc The talk was one of much value and
interest to the teachers. Prof. Hull gave
an illustrated talk on Fractions, after
which his section was taken in charge by
Miss Potridge, of Reading, who spoke for
an hour on Language.

CHINESE IRREGULARITIES.

A Chinaman Tells Some of the Curious
Customs of His Countrymen.
The highest ambition of a Chinese gem
tleman is to nave n nice coffin and a fine
funeral.
Old women instead of the young are
the idols of society.
Love making is only done three days
before marriage. 1t is not only consid-
cred the safest way to get ahead of a
rival, but the surest way to get a wife
without losing much time.
A previous acquaintanceship between
the male and female prevents them from
marriage. For this reason a man seldom
weds n girl of his own town.
A man could borrow money on the
strengthen his having a son, but no one
would advance him a cent if he had a
dozen of daughters. The former is re-
sponsible for the debts of his father for
three generations. The latter is only re-
sponsible for the debts of her own hus-
band.
When u Chinaman meets another, he
shakes and squeezes his own hands;
covers his head. If great friends had not
seen each other for a long time, after the
mutual handshaking they would rub
shoulders until they become tired. In
stead of asking zach others health, they
would say: Have you eaten your rice?
Where are you going? What is your
business when you get there? How old
are you, and how much did you pay fol-
your shoes5"
Men wear long p~etticoats and carry
fans, while the women wear short jack,
cts and carry canes.
Boats are drawn by horses; carriages
moved by sails.
Old men play ball and fly kites, while
children fold their arms and look on.
If a Chinaman desires the death of al
enemy he goes and hangs himself upon
his neighbours door. 1t is a sure cure tC
kill no only that particular enemy, but
members of his entire family will be in
jeopardy of losing their lives.
When a Chinaman desires a visitor tC
dine with him he does not ask him to dc
30, but when he does not wish him tc
stay he puts the question: ooh, please
stay and dine with mei'' The visitor
will then know he Is not wanted.

When q Chinaman expects a present
and it does not come he sends one o.

GENERAL MANAGER POTTER has shown
himself a good deal of an iconoclast. More
people would applaud him if he exercised
his i~conoclasm on the freight aud express
rates. An express charge of $l.47 on
a dozen chickens shipped from Central
City, Neb to Cheyenne, if correspond
ingly maintained elsewhere, will certainly
not lead the express company to bank
ruptcy, whatever it may do with its GUS
TONERS. Some people might allude to
this as a pretty stiff rate; to us it savors
more of highway robbery.

GOOD NIGHT SONG.

The birds fly home from east and west,
The sleepy winds are blowing,
All tired wee things have gone to rest,
And baby must DO going.
Dress him In white,
And fold him tight,
And whisper once, and twice, GOOD nightrt
Then set nfloat
The cradle boat,
The slumber ship is just in sight;
Now rock and row,
Swing TO and fro,
The winds are soft, the waves are low,
The dream world shores lie dim and blue,
The sky is fair, the ship Is true.
oh baby to he left behind
Would bring us care and sorrow;
It's in the dream world you must find
The laughter for tomorrow.
There kisses grow,
And dimples blow,
And tinkling streams Of music flow,
So swcct and clear
oh, baby dear,
The time is up TO rock and row.
We reach the ship;
NO-back we slip
Again the oars we poise and dip,
We dip and poise-Oh' ship SO white,
Now take him in. Sweetheart. COOL night.
